Thumbprint Cactus Cards For Valentine's Day

CRAFT SUPPLIES:

  • For this Thumbprint Cactus Card idea, all you need is a washable green stamp pad, white cardstock paper and some fine-tip markers to complete the cards.
  • BTW – some baby wipes on hand are also good to have on hand for this craft as well!

THE HOW-TO:

  • To recreate your Valentine’s Day cactus cards, simply add three green “thumbprints” on a piece of white cardstock, on top of each other in a “Y” shape, just like you would see a cactus in real life. Repeat this step about two to three times on your card front. You don’t want to over-crowd your paper though.
  • Follow that up by drawing on cactus small features with thin-tip markers {like black spikes, brown pots and pink flowers!} to make it come to life.
  • And that’s it! Your card is finish!
  • You could also add on a few sayings like “stuck on you” or “so glad to be stuck with you” to tie the theme together.
  • Then mail and/or hand-deliver your thumbprint cactus card to the lucky receiver!

For a DIFFERENT spin on this card, you can also use GREEN BUTTONS for the succulent plant! Just use glue dots to secure them in place. Easy peasy – just how we like it on the Glued To My Crafts blog!
